She was on the ball, full of life, with a great smile. It was Wednesday, and you get 30% off wine, so why not share a bottle? I had a Caesar Salad and Mussels, and my better half had the Braised Short Rib Poutine. The Caesar was fresh, and the dressing was as expected. It was drizzled with Balsamic that added a nice twist as it was just a very small amount. Some chefs overdo it and in my mind, run the salad. The mussels had a red sauce that made me nervous at first. I'm traditional and like a garlic butter sauce. I was pleasantly surprised! It was light, and if I didn't see the color, I would have thought it was a lemon garlic sauce, amazing! The Poutine did not have a lot of meat, but the flavor was excellent and overall a great dish. If you are looking for a wonderful view on the coast with a great vibe, this is it! It's like the old-style beachfront place you would find in a movie. Seating is upstairs and its just has this old world feeling. Give it a try!

On their site the ask for a 2 hour time limit and I can see why. Service was a tad slow for my liking but it was quick enough. They gave a large menu and that includes many fish dishes. A good place to go if you want fish. I had the lamb shank which was delicious. Everything was hot when it came to the table. I'm a stickler for being served dinner. One diner ordered the crab bisque. They were sorry the didn't order the bowl. Lots of crab in it. Scallop and prawn salad was ordered and it was very good. The curry Kahula was excellent. The one down fall of this evening was the noise. It is open floor and tables were packed in there. There were a couple of larger parties seated as well. You are on the second floor and I didn't notice how to get a wheel chair or walker to the floor. Had to dock a star for the noise and handicap assesability.

I hadn't been to White Rock in a few decades, and during the Canada Day celebrations we were…read morelooking for a place to eat. Knowing it would be a busy day, I made a reservation in advance, which I'm glad I did. This restaurant had fairly good reviews, so we decided to give it a try. When we arrived, I was a little surprised. The restaurant was much more casual than I expected, and the ambiance felt a bit dated. We ordered the half dozen fresh oysters, spinach salad, seafood linguine, and the Creole chicken. Unfortunately, the oysters were disappointing. They weren't as plump or flavorful as the fresh oysters I've had in Vancouver, and they were served with tobiko, which I've never seen paired with oysters before. It wasn't a combination I enjoyed. The spinach salad was good, although I thought it was a bit overdressed. The seafood linguine was also enjoyable, with a generous amount of seafood, though I wasn't expecting it to be made with pesto sauce. It was still a tasty dish. The Creole chicken was just okay--the chicken breast was a bit dry, but the sauce helped make up for it. Overall, I felt the prices were a bit high for the quality of the food and the casual atmosphere. It may be a good option by White Rock standards, but if this restaurant were in Vancouver, I don't think it would stand out. That said, the service was excellent. Our server was genuinely friendly, attentive, and provided the best part of our dining experience.

I have been a long time customer of DHOC. We love our oysters! The highlight of the dinner was to have Adam from DHOC set up am oyster bar at the party.

I cannot say enough about how fun it was to DHOC at this party. We will definitely have them back again this summer. If you are hosting a party, add oysters to menu! They are the difference between a simple party vs. a fun culinary experience for your family and friends. Our friends are still contacting us to rave about the oyster bar!

Moby Dick's is obviously a busy place in the summer, being right across from the waterfront -- but…read morein January, it's a sleepy area and the restaurant is active, but not too busy. We found the food unremarkable - standard fish, standard chips, standard coleslaw, standard tartar sauce. All fried food is pretty standard, pretty greasy, but not any better or worse than many fish & chips shops. So why a 3-star rating rather than 4-stars? First, there is there menu and pricing: What is called a 1-piece fish & chips comes with 2 pieces - all identified fish comes with one extra piece. It's a gimmick, and mostly just annoying. 2nd, there is a charge for everything -- Want tartar sauce? There are three sizes, three prices. Want to substitute onion rings for the fries? Can't do it, even with an up-charge, though you can order fish and you can order onion rings, each separately, each with its own price. Coleslaw? Yes, but not instead of fries. And the coleslaw is pricey - a good sized portion, but a substantial price none-the-less. The portion sizes are reasonably large, but the incessant a-la-carte with each item with a price - one feels nickled and dimed to death. The atmosphere - ok, 1950s-ish, nothing special. The staff, friendly and attentive, but young and inexperienced. And then there was the problem with the cooking -- we got 5 pieces of fish (ordered 2 and 1, which is really 2+1 and 1+1 = 5). Four of them were pretty standard. One was undercooked - cooked on the outer edges (under the fried batter), and raw and translucent on the inside. Yes, they took that off the ticket, so I didn't have to pay for it, but biting into a piece of raw fish with the outside so hot it almost burned my mouth and the inside uncooked - not so pleasant. Moby Dick's gets good ratings from many Yelpers, but in my view, it's not worth going out of your way for.

The sauce and the preparation of the clams and associated other bits of seafood in that dish were simply superb. Loved the use of tomatoes in the sauce. Well done.

Food-wise, it was solid. I went with the schnitzel, which I'd recommend overall. It arrived nicely prepared and paired with spätzle (think German-style mac and cheese), which was rich and comforting. That said, the schnitzel leaned a bit on the salty side, so your mileage may vary depending on your preference. Service was fine but didn't particularly stand out, and the pricing felt slightly elevated for what's offered. All in all, it's a good option if you're in the area and craving schnitzel, but between the distance and parking situation, I'm on the fence about making a return trip.
